Pont Naturel
Updated: September 6, 2024
Pont Naturel is a natural wonder on the southeast coast of Mauritius, which is a natural stone arch formed by the waves of the Indian Ocean. This unique natural bridge has been carved into the rock over thousands of years by powerful waves and winds. Pont Naturel offers spectacular ocean views, especially when the waves crash noisily against the rocks beneath the arch.
The area is relatively remote from popular hiking trails and is not as crowded. The best way to get there is by rented car, the roads leading to Pont Naturel include stretches without asphalt.
Pont Naturel is an ideal place for nature lovers, photographers and hikers. Here you can enjoy the wildlife, the power of the ocean and scenic views. Despite the beauty of the place, caution should be taken as the terrain is rocky and can be slippery due to ocean spray.
The place often attracts photographers and adventurers, but for swimming or other water sports, Pont Naturel is not suitable due to strong currents and rocks.
